Various points were put forward for and against, the reality is that the public is very confused, not knowing clearly what behavior is legal and what is not, if they are committing criminal acts or if instead the performance is within the parameters allowed by the legislature. But is the real motivations behind the adoption of this law by the Congress of the Republic, the confusion about the scope of this provision is the common denominator is watching how surfers to see if rights are being violated author, What happens with downloads music and videos?, Do ISPs have a duty to remove the material published through their networks?. What event an Internet user could be deprived of liberty?, Is there criminal conduct when shared ‘links’ to other pages, such as with a social network?.
